and believed in the unspotted integrity
of Gregory Bancroft. Emily was fore
stalled. No need now of her COMES
sion, which at best would have only I'M
settled, not convinced tn e world.
Did the grand, sorely-tried soul not
know, did he not hear from the morn
ing land of spirits the overwhelming
voice of sympathy and sorrow and in
dignation that thrilled and throbbed
around the world? Did he not rejoice
that his name was to be accounted
blameless of the sin laid TO his charge,
that history would record him a
martyr, that offerings of flowers, Law
ish and costly, were heaped upon his
resting-place in the city of the dead,
daily renewed, daily watered with
tears from bleeding hearts, reaching
out with dumb longing to kneel at his
feet and implore his pardon for the in
justice melted to him in thought and
word.
Did he sometimes come to the sad
faced woman who knelt with folded
hands nightly beside his grave, she to
whom it was appointed to live on and
bear the burden of her sin, to watch
and wait and suffer and hope for the
end?
All, who shall solve for US the riddle
of this great mystery of pain?

The Man in the Moon.

Say, who is the fellow who sits in
the moon, and why does he grin in so
foolish a way? In winter he's smil-
ing as well as in June-what keeps up
his spirits SO wondrously, pray? Oh,
q merry old fool is the man in the
moon, and he sits there and looks at
the chap full of gin, who staggers
along like a wavering loon. and he
can not, to save him, refrain from
grin. And anon he can see from his
seat in the moon, fellow who's reck-
less and brainless to boot, who sails
up mile in giant balloon, and sails
down again on big parachute. And
again he can smile at the man with
gun, who asks at the desk if the edi-
tors in, who's scraped from the floor
when the struggle is done, and carried
away on the point of a pin. There are
thousands of jokes for the man in the
moon, and he smiles when he sees
William H., in despair, imploring his
darling to marry him soon-and year
after that when she's pulling his hair.
If you could go up in trusty balloon,
as far as that orb in her setting of
blue, and look down on earth with the
man in the moon, you'd likely be grin
ming as foolishly too. This dizzy old
world is a Joke from the start, and
there's no use of weeping from morn
ing till noon; it's better to go with
smile in your heart, and try to out
snicker the man in the moon.-Ne-

given as being but $4,000. Gross

After shaking hands and bidding
Mr.. Snider good-day we left him as
we found him. still tramping about his
beaten path. When nearly out of
sight we looked again; he was still at
his task alone. head erect, the same
swinging step, in circle from right
to left. On he went, as contented and
serene as though sitting in the shade
conversing with friends. We calcu-
late that now he has been walking
over one thousand days, twenty hours
of every twenty-four.
At the rate of four miles an hour,
eighty miles day, he now has encom-
passed fully eighty thousand miles
over three times around the world-in
less than three years, and yet his
journey is not ended.
In conversation with the family
about Mr.. Snider we were informed
by them that he never murmured or
complained at his lot, was always
pleasant and cheerful, and that often
he would walk for an hour at a time,
supported by some member of the
family, sound asleep, snoring so loudly
as to be heard several rods away; that
in sleeping he sat in the armchair
near the circle, and while sleeping sat
erect, breathed easily, and on waking
at once began his task.
Every inducement, every device,
every effort at command had been re-
sorted to to get him to forego his
tramp, yet, while he listened to their
suggestions and pleadings, he would
answer them, ''lt is impossible to
STOP" and 1T would be suicide to do

How l wish that at your face might catch 3

Yet you'll never let me peep, tho know tits
fair,
Hid completely out of sight by your yellow
hair.
Shake those sunny tresses back, why are you
so shy?
None to see except myself and butterfly
Ills so still and shady here where the willows
nod,
Won't you let me have one peep, pretty
GOden-Rod?
Sleepy little GentianS, it is time to rise,
For the sun is climbing fast up the rosy skies,
And the happy brooklets are laughing where
they leap;
DOM you hear them in your dreams as you
lie asleep?
Lift those fair, fringed lashes up, shut so very
tight,
Hiding from your sweet blue eyes all the gold
en- light
What can you be dreaming that you slumber
so,
Sleepy little Gentians, should like to know?

Won soul and music from her finger-tips,
And trembled like some convent maiden s
lips
Pallid with holy passion and desired
The evening shadows gathered, and the fire
Flickered and struggled on unseen with
death:
Yet still / sat and hushed my very breath
To catch the palpitations of her Tyre,
Dead pictured eyes smiled strangely from the
wall;
The Tyres wild chords with dead lips were
so loud
That every shadow seemed to grow shroud.
Low echoes fell like voices from above,
And ever and anon there came the call,
al tremulous with triumph, Lowell love-!
love!

The death of Gen. Phil Kearney at
Chantilly has always been shrouded in
mystery. He was killed instantly, but
the circumstances which led to his
death have hitherto been kept very
quiet. Gen. Pierce Young of Georgia
has Just returned from St. Petersburg,
where he was United States Consul
General. He was confederate officer
during the war and says that at Chantil
lv he and his command unexpectedly
surrounded Kearney and his staff.
Young who had been class-mate and
friend of Kearney, motioned to the
Union General to escape. Kearney
saw the signal, but before he could
take advantage of it was shot dead
by the Rebel troops.

Second class passengers were put i'll an I'M
covered apartment; and as for the third class,
the steerage passengers of transatlantic ships
are lodged in elegance in comparison with
them. Freight trains were operated by the
fewest possible men, and the employees in
charge of cattle trains had no sinecure. The
locomotives were tubular. They could streak
it along at fifteen miles an hour, but for fear
of accidents they held down the pace to
twelve miles an hour on the opening days.
The inventor of the locomotive wrote in a
letter the following: "Not the least surprising
thing about the day was the audacious temer-
ity of the first who confided themselves
to these terrible motors. But the influence of
example is miraculous. That which an iso-
lated man dare not do ten will readily do.
Each carriage contains a certain number of
companions, who give each other courage;
and they forget that the least arrangement Of
these powerful machines would be for all the
signal of an inevitable and terrible DEATH"

rated without accident. A member of the

ELEVATORS AT BUFFALO.

though the produce transported in the early
years of the canal was more than four -ffths
from New York, in later years less than one
fifth is from her farms, the central west con-
tributng all the rest At present the con-
ficting schemes are reduced to two; one to
only enlarge the canal sufficient for steam
navigation, the other to recreate it, so to
speak, into a regular ship canal.
The history, development and comparative
decline of the Erie canal form romantic
chapter in the annals OF commerce. 1t is idle
to inquire who first suggested it, for the
topography is SO obviously suitable for a
canal that the idea must have occurred to
thousands on first seeing the country; but
Gov. De Witt Clinton was the first public
man to thoroughly identify himself with it.
"Clinton's Big Ditch" was long a political
joke i'll New York; but he lived to see the
ditch great highway and turn the laugh OH
his critics Plans for improving the Mohawk
were laid before the colonial assembly of New
York in 1925, and renewed occasionally till
1892, when the Western Inland Navigation
company was incorporated, with power to
improve that stream and connect it by canals
with Lakes Seneca and Ontario. After
